We had a surprise visit to Santa today!! We went in to buy some hot cocoa and surpise…we were greeted to a Santa, free hot cocoa, free cookies, and tons of fun! It as seriously such a fun time…the kids had a blast and were so happy to be with their best friends.
Miles wants: a Power Ranger Super Charged Megazord and lots of DinoTrux
Payton wants: a robot, LOL doll house, LOL dolls, a Barbie Jet, and an American Girl doll beach house
Let’s hope Santa comes through with some of this stuff!

Sad to see Fall go…but so fun to see how excited the kids are for December and all of the fun Holiday stuff we have on the calendar!

Hey Y’all!
Well as you know…I don’t share a ton of Boutique stuff on our personal page. Maybe I should share more?! What do y’all think?! But anyways…I have to share this collection because it is hands down one of my favorites.
It was immediately a favorite because…the kids are still at an age that they love to match Mama! And two, it forces me to get in the picture with these cuties, which I may not love now…but know I will be grateful for it 10 years from now when they want nothing to do with me…ha!
So if it takes gorgeous plaid clothing from one of my favorite Small Shop Mamas to do that…then so be it!
I hope yall check it out!
Mom: cardigan, scarf and tunic
Dad and boys: Raglan
Girls: Scarf, dress, tunics, cardigan, and leggings

Hope everyone had an amazing Halloween! Ours was both great and not so great…ha! Or as Payton keeps saying…’This was the worse Halloween ever!’. Poor girl…she got sick at school and had to miss out on Halloween. She literally cried putting on her costume while laying on the floor…she made it a few houses before she called it a night. In bed by 6:30, to Urgent Care by 7:30, on antibiotics by 9:00. I hate the word ‘sucks’…but it totally sucked for her, missing something she had been counting down the days to for a whole month.
Miles man and buddies had a blast though! The rain held off and they scooped up lots of candy! Miles even took it upon himself to open a random houses door and help himself to the candy bowl on their stairs. And his response “they didn’t even see me!”. Sigh. No shame in his game.
Hope everyone had an amazing Halloween!

And just like that, in the blink of an eye, my sweet girl is 7 years old! She couldn’t be more excited! Mama and Daddy…not so much. Where has the time gone?! How in the world did this happen?!
Well sweet girl, Happy Birthday to you! May this year be everything your heart desires. May you laugh louder than you ever have, love more than you ever knew you could, and may you stay just as sweet as you have always been.
Even though each year you become a little bit older…that sweet kind heart is unwavering. Keep doing you sweet girl, you are one in a million.
I love you, love you, love you more than you will ever know.
Cheers to another amazing year.
XOXOXO

With Fall here, I wanted to share this one special day. One of my favorite evenings with the kids. We went to a local lavender farm, this kids had such a blast exploring and cutting lavender. They even brought home little lavender satchels to put by their beds when they are sleeping. Payton couldn’t get enough of the smell, Miles couldn’t get enough of the millions of bees that were flying around. So fun to find someplace new to explore. Afterwards we explored a little more and found a local semi-private beach front on the Snoqualmie River. Payton picked a bucket full of blackberries and Miles stripped down and dug in the sand. The almost perfect little evening with these munchkins…the only thing missing was Daddy.

And another one is off to school. Last year of preschool for this little dude. Always in disbelief when the kids start another year of school. I am so excited for him though…he is at a great school with amazing teachers! Payton went through the same program…so I know there are great things in store for him this year! Cheers to your last year little dude…I hope you have a blast in Pre-K!!!
